Through the use of a “smart wallet” technology, the crypto earnings of these drivers can be redeemed to be used in a variety of ways. This includes, but not limited to, paying bills, electric charging, paying tolls, buying coffee, and paying parking fees. Interestingly, these drivers can choose to top up their wallet by way of conventional payment methods.
